The present invention relates to the field of wireless networks, and discloses an authentication method and device for a wireless access point and a management platform. The method comprises: generating, by a wireless access point, a first random challenge word; utilizing, by the wireless access point, a key stored by the wireless access point to encrypt an identifier number of the wireless access point and the first random challenge word, so as to obtain first key information; sending, by the wireless access point, to a management platform first authentication information comprising the identifier number of the wireless access point, the first random challenge word and the first key information; utilizing, by the management platform, a key corresponding to the wireless access point to verify the first authentication information, so as to obtain second key information; and if the management platform determines the first key information as corresponding to the second key information, then determining the wireless access point to be legitimate. The present application can ensure the legitimacy of a wireless access point and thus provide a more secure and reliable access for a device in a network. |
